Make Waves Summer
One summer
Thousands of actions
Join a community challenge connecting people with environmental action, volunteer opportunities, nonprofit organizations, and ways to make a difference.
Let’s make waves for a sustainable future!
How It Works
Step 1: Download Your Challenge Card
Download your Summer Challenge card and make it your own. Print it out and cross off actions as you complete them, save it to your phone, or share your progress on your Instagram story. However you use it, the goal is to celebrate every step you take.
Your challenge card is designed to guide you through environmental advocacy with a mix of suggested actions and a few wild card spaces where you get to choose your own ways to make a difference. Every action counts, no matter how big or small.
Step 3: Share Your Actions So We Can See Our Collective Impact
Submit your completed actions through our quick online form! Every Sunday, we'll tally up everyone's impact and keep a running total this summer!
Share what you did on the form, upload photos if you have them, and help us show what's possible when people take action together.
And tag us in the fun you are having this summer!
Every action you complete becomes part of our collective impact.
Step 4: Follow the Wave Report on our Instagram
Every week we'll share:
-
Community impact statistics

Participant stories

Why we created this
Every day we hear from people who care about the environment and want to help.
The problem isn't that people don't care.
It's that they don't know where to start.
Make Waves Summer was created to connect people with opportunities to volunteer, learn, support nonprofits, and take action in their communities.
Have Fun!
